Available assets
Asset is a collective name for additional information that can be stored per classification, article groups and per article. An asset can consist of various information (recorded in the software), such as images, logos, URLs, icons end videos.
Per classification, article group and article, 0, 1 or more assets can be saved.
The file names of the Assets can be imported with the Article Import.
The files themselves can be uploaded in EZ-catalog (with the exception of URL's), independently of the Article importer.
The assets will automatically be linked to the correct article if the naming is exactly the same (the extension does not have to be the same).
The table below lists all asset types including an explanation and the standard asset category per asset type.
For a daily updated overview of all categories per asset type in Excel format: click here (below a part of this overview).
The descriptions under CategoryNL/Categories/CategoryFR/CategoryDU and also the descriptions of the standard AssetCategory in the table below can be used with the Article Import to establish to which asset category an asset belongs (in the import language). Click here for the extensive documentation on this.
Assettype and category is the technical grouping of assets that enables the system to know how to handle them.
For example, a supplier can make a CAD drawing available in two ways:
1. with an Url to its own website
2. by uploading a document in EZ-catalogue
Therefore, this category appears twice: once under asset type Url and once under asset type Document.
For a website of the wholesaler, however, it is not interesting whether the document is stored at the supplier or at EZ-base
Therefore, the dashboard and data evaluation use the logical grouping with Assetimplementationtype and the category ‘CAD drawing (DWG)’ and ‘Cad drawing (DWG) (Document)’ are cumulated under ‘CAD drawing (DWG)’.

Catalogus

The Internet address to a page in the browseable publication where information on the article concerned can be found. This asset is different because when EZ-base posts a publication, this asset is added by the software. It cannot, therefore, be added manually by the users of EZ-base via, for example, Assets.
